"Hello, possums." Whoops! Ah, it's not Dame Edna. No spectacles. It's sculptor Peter Corlett's life-sized bronze statue of Kylie Minogue, unveiled yesterday in Melbourne's Docklands. He may have got Kylie's figure and stance right - his model was Sophia James, a waitress with the correct vital statistics -, but the face is a ghastly parody of the diminutive diva: a cartoon Kylie.
